Serenity gasped when she felt his lip touch her's. She instantly wanted to back away, and then scream a little, but his hand was holding her down tightly, and she couldn't move. Though she had to admit, his kiss what a lot more gentle then last time, and after a while, she found herself not minding it. . .that much.

Not being that much, because as soon as he let go of her hand to push her down, she immediately threw him off her and stood up. "Who the hell do you think you are?" she screamed angrily. Kaiba looked at her not sure of what just happened, but covered it well. "Who do I think I am? I'm Seto Kaiba, you, you should be fearing your life" he said sitting up properly. "I should be fearing my life? Your just some sicko that has nothing better to do then torture me!" she hissed.

Kaiba stood up instantly and held her by the arm. "Your just a stupid little woman, who I despise greatly" he hissed angrily at her, throwing her across the room. Serenity fell in pain on the floor, tears threatening to fall. "If you hate me, why did you kiss me?" she said barely. "It was a mistake, I would never do it again" he said. "My ass. . ." she said, trailing off. She didn't know what to say really. She was lost for words, and even so, she couldn't talk much, because if she did, she would cry, and that she refused to do.

Barely after she said it, Kaiba had her pinned to the wall. "Your a nothing, a stupid thing in which I have had mercy on" he hissed. "Well, I didn't ask for it" she replied bitterly. Kaiba slapped her hard. "You should learn to keep your mouth shut. And I'd much rather see you suffer then die anyways" he said grinning. " I hate you so much" she hissed.

"And guess what Serenity, I don't care" he replied. Serenity just wanted to hit his face! He was so smug about it all. And it was because he knew she couldn't do anything about it. His strength was not natural and even she knew she would never win in a fight with him. . .she could barely move now. "Look at you. . .your about to cry, and your weak and pathetic" he smirked, knowing this was getting him angry.

"And it's not like you can do anything. . .you couldn't hurt a bug if you tried your that weak. You truly are a nothing. A sad pitiful little girl" he continued, putting her down. Serenity anger rose. He was right, but she couldn't just let him get away with it, she had to do something. So, she did what she could and she. . .

Spit in his face.

Kaiba let go of her and backed up a bit. He then brought his hand to his face, and wiped the spit away, his dark eyes slowly raising to her. The anger inside him blew up, and even he could not explain it. It was as if someone had token over him. Serenity must of noticed because tears began to fall as she tried to say sorry, but Kaiba was deaf to her pleas.

Kaiba grabbed her by the arm angrily, squeezing it tightly. Serenity struggled to break free. "Please. . .let me go. . .I'm sorry I wasn't thinking. . .I swear it. . .please" she cried. Kaiba just starred at her angrily. He wasn't sure of what to do, he was confused by his anger, he wanted to slap and kick her till she was on the verge of death, and leave her be so she could suffer. He just wanted to hurt her badly. But something deep down told him not to, but he didn't care.

He raised her high, so she was face to face with him. "Please. . .I didn't know what I was doing. . ." she cried. That stupid voice he hissed in his mind! I hate it! Why can't she just shut the fuck up? He thought angrily, his grip on her getting tighter. "Please just let go of me. . .please" she continued to beg, he was really hurting her. Kaiba gritted his teeth. I can't take this . . .but if I hurt her, she'll just scream and cry. . .I need to put her somewhere where I can't hear her he thought, looking around the room.

Suddenly, it hit him and he walked over and opened the bathroom door. "Wash your dirty body" he hissed throwing her in the bathroom and closing the door as he walked over to his bed trying to calm down his anger before he did something wrong. Last time he was this angry, it was when he found out about Mokuba's death.

It wasn't just now that took him over the edge, but it was also before, how she just kept going, and Bakura as well! He just wanted to be rid of them all. . .but something always held him back, as if a little voice just said 'It's okay' and he hated it. He didn't know where it came from, but it would, and it annoyed him.

Sighing, he laid down on his bed and tried to get a little sleep before she came out, maybe then he wouldn't kill her because deep down, very deep, that was not what he wanted to do. . .

Serenity hit the wall hard, grateful that she was inches away from the sink, because it would of been a lot worse. She sat there against the wall crying. She didn't know what to do. . .she was so confused. And he had scared her just a few moments ago, the way he had looked at her. . .it left her in even more fear then ever.

After sitting there a while, she finally decided she would do what he asked. It was better to keep him slightly happy then not doing what he told her and being angry like he was right now. She slowly got up with the help of the wall, wincing at the pain. She then took off her shirt and pants and then her undergarments till she was naked. She then limped to the mirror to see how she looked.

Her once bright brown eyes were read a puffy from crying so much. She had several bruises on her arms and some on her back as well for when he threw her across the room. She then limped into the shower and started the water. Like always, she washed her hair and conditioned it. After that, she washed her body.

What do I do when I come out? Is he waiting there. . .to hurt me. God, I'm so scared. . .I don't know what to do. I mean, I can't sleep in here. . .that would just make him more angry. . .oh God she thought fearfully as she closed the water and got out.

Oh no! She thought. I have no clean clothes, their all. . .out there. . .she thought, looking at the door frightfully. But, I can't wear dirty clothes. . .their bloody she thought. She then slowly walked over, and put her ear to the door, hearing nothing she guessed he was asleep.

She then grabbed the longest towel she could find and wrapped it tightly around her body. Taking a deep breath, she opened the door slowly, trying to make as little noise as possible. She slowly tip toed into the room and walked over to the drawer. Her hand held the handle as she slowly opened it. But as she was opening it, it made a slightly loud noise (AN: You know that noise right?)

Kaiba, who had been sleeping woke up by a sudden noise. He sat up quickly and looked around, as his eyes finally landed on the little brunette who stood quite still at the moment, too scared to move. He then got up from his bed, not able to take his eyes off her. (AN: To let you know, he thinks he's sleeping ok? Just to not cause confusion)

She looked so. . .beautiful there, and something came over him as all he wanted to do was touch her. . .
